19: Chapter 19 Divine Creatures (New Players) - Too Difficult

After waiting about ten minutes, Teacher Tong Qian placed the spirit artifact teacup in her hand onto the podium. The students below immediately stopped talking.

"Besides the Technique Transmission Hall just mentioned, there are many other resource buildings. For example, the C-grade Spirit Fruit Processing Workshop."

"The F-grade or E-grade Spirit Fruit you plant, after being harvested by your Believers, will often end up immature, spoiled, or rotten for various reasons."

"If such Spirit Fruit are put up for sale on the trading platform, their prices will naturally be driven down. But with a Spirit Fruit Processing Workshop..."

"It can not only help you process spoiled fruit and filter out substandard Spirit Fruit, but also complete preliminary processing work according to the requirements for alchemy and spirit meal preparation."

"This way, not only can you sell your Spirit Fruit at a higher price, but you can also save your Believers a significant amount of time to use for improving their strength."

This time, the students' reaction was not as intense as before. This thing didn't seem very useful, did it?

Around 300,000 faith points just to make Spirit Fruit a bit more expensive? What is this alchemy or spirit meal preliminary processing? What even is this? It's completely not worth the price.

Looking at Lin Xiao, who had a thoughtful expression below the stage, Teacher Tong Qian continued to instruct them further.

"The Spirit Fruit Processing Workshop belongs to the category of industrial support facilities. Its primary function is to exist in conjunction with industrial buildings like spirit meal kitchens and alchemy rooms."

"Take the C-grade alchemy room as an example. Without the help of alchemy Believers, a C-grade alchemy room can steadily produce 120 bottles of marrow cleansing pill annually."

"Hmm, the 120 bottles I mentioned are assuming you have filled the alchemy room with materials. Generally, when you buy an alchemy room, the materials inside are only enough for one firing."

"That is what the monthly stable output of 10 bottles described on the shopping platform means. This is actually a small trap set by sellers."

"Normally, such buildings come with two or even three sets of materials. If you ask, they will provide them to you."

"If you don't ask, once the one-day after-sales period passes, they will just say that you have already used up the provided medicinal materials."

A crow cawed as it flew across Lin Xiao's forehead.

What did the teacher just say? His C-grade alchemy room's actual production isn't 10 bottles a day? It's 120 bottles? What the f***!

Is the Ministry of Education this shady? They awarded a 300,000 faith point building, was it really necessary to withhold a couple of sets of medicinal materials from him?

What Lin Xiao didn't know was that this was actually an unspoken rule. The Ministry of Education certainly wasn't short of those one or two sets of medicinal materials.

"But one couldn't stop the people below from wanting them. Withholding one or two sets from each alchemy room... what is the scale of the Ministry of Education? The amount of building rewards they have to distribute every year is truly massive."

"On such a large scale, scamming a bit from every resource building like this results in an unimaginable amount of withheld medicinal materials."

"The higher-ups naturally know the profits involved, but there is no need to bring up such a trivial matter."

"After all, there are too many people with their hands in the pie, and even their direct subordinates have a share in it. It's just a few less medicinal materials, it's not like they didn't issue the reward, right?"

"No one stipulated that the alchemy room must be full of medicinal materials when issued, right?"

[Old players (High-level War Deity) are truly too shady. A newbie (Divine Being) like him who has just obtained player qualifications has no one to guide him. He was scammed and still thought they were good people.]

[Damn it! It's a good thing the teacher mentioned it unintentionally today, so he didn't lose too much. After class, he will go and replenish the medicinal materials.]

Teacher Tong Qian naturally didn't know that by just casually mentioning this, she had raised Lin Xiao's daily faith points harvest from the original 100,000 to 1,200,000.

If she had known, she would have at least asked Lin Xiao for some so-called "knowledge fees."

"The medicinal materials for alchemy are essentially various Spirit Fruit and spirit plants. If you want to refine these things into pills, you certainly can't just use them directly."

"And this is where the role of the Spirit Fruit Processing Workshop comes in. They will unify the processing of harvested Spirit Fruit and spirit plants according to the corresponding alchemy requirements."

"These processed materials can then be automatically handled inside the alchemy room."

Speaking of this, the projected text before them changed again, displaying the three characters: alchemy room.

"Since we are on this topic, let's talk about the alchemy room. We all know that pills are higher-quality energy aggregates."

"A single pill is worth the effect of hundreds or thousands of catties of Spirit Fruit. And if you want to utilize the alchemy room reasonably, you cannot rely on its automatic production."

"After all, it is only a C-grade alchemy room, and its level of intelligence is insufficient. Therefore, at this time, you need a group of Believers with alchemy skills to assist."

"A C-grade alchemy room generally requires 10 proficient alchemy Believers to assist. This way, you can reduce its failure rate and increase production from 120 bottles a day to 150 or even 160."

"If you buy a few more alchemy rooms and have enough materials, you can basically meet the needs of your own Believers."

This time, Lin Xiao was not angry. Having gone past the point of anger, he now just wanted to laugh. It was too much of a scam!

He added another note to the virtual notebook in his hand: "Cultivate alchemy Believers as soon as possible." And in front, he had also recorded: "Fill alchemy room with medicinal materials, purchase Technique Transmission Hall."

She tapped the podium lightly with her right index finger, her gaze sweeping over Lin Xiao, her words implying something.

"Students who want to walk the War Path can start collecting your Subordinate Deity now. It is best to have multiple Subordinate Deity."

"This way, you can let one of your Subordinate Deity cultivate the corresponding spirit plants and Spirit Fruit according to the needs of the pills."

"And let the other Subordinate Deity have the Believers in their own divine realm specialize in alchemy. Skill is something that comes from practice."

"Even for Believers without relevant skill talent, as long as they refine enough, their skills will eventually reach the perfection level."

"Of course, if you have the ability, you can also pair it with the Technique Transmission Hall for acceleration. After all, it is a 300,000 faith point building."

"It can also help teach auxiliary skills such as alchemy, artifact refining, formations, and talisman making."

This time, the students' discussion was quite lively.

"So this is the purpose of a Subordinate Deity. I previously thought a Subordinate Deity was just for selling resources cheaply to the War Deity as protection money."

"Looking at it this way, the faith points that a War Deity needs to consume are just too many, right? Technique Transmission Hall, Spirit Fruit Processing Workshop, and this alchemy room."

"These three alone have already exceeded one million. This doesn't even count other resource investments. The Ministry of Education's five million faith point loan doesn't seem to be enough, right?"

"A War Deity is naturally a big spender of faith points. The Ministry of Education's student loan is likely just enough for us to have a smooth start."

"Afterwards, if you want to advance to demigod or even deity, the bulk of it still has to come from various assessments and activity rewards from the class, grade, school, or even outside of school."

"Even the descendants of the Chen family participate in various assessments and activities after awakening. It's just that they have one more internal family assessment than we do."

"They have more sources of rewards. I heard that if their internal assessment results are good, they will be rewarded with millions or even tens of millions of faith points each time."

"That is the real bulk of it."

"Tsk, what is that? As far as I know, a few days ago, someone from a side branch of the Chen family, seems to be called Chen Liang, awakened an A-grade talent."

"The family invested 100 million faith points in him at once. It is said that they will also provide a certain amount of faith points and buildings as subsidies every month."

"He is definitely a deity in the making. He probably won't even need to graduate from university to become an official deity."

"My god?! Really? 100 million faith points? How exactly does one even spend that much? If I could also have 100 million faith points, I could also become a deity."

"You? First of all, your surname is not Chen. Secondly, do you have an A-grade talent? It's not like every Chen family descendant can get that 100 million. At the end of the day, they rely on their own ability."
